Thank you for agreeing to complete this questionnaire. It is about how research practices are used by you, your school and how much you value these research practices. The questionnaire is designed so that it can be completed by teachers in any country, of any school phase, and any subject speciality. The aim of this questionnaire is to support teachers in getting better access to quality research information.
The questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes and has three pages:
All personal information shall be kept anonymous and all responses will be treated as strictly confidential.

Each section consists of a number of statements in the centre of the page.
The scale on the left is about you or your school. Please read the statement and think about your own practices in relation to research. The scale on the right is about your values in relation to each of the listed practices. Irrespective of how much or how little of the practice you do, tell us how important you think the practice is for enhancing the use of research.
